Dear friends 🦋 Thanks so much for the kind likes and follows while I’ve been offline. I appreciate you all very much for sticking around. Life happens and it's no harm to take a break when needed. So I'll ease back in gently with some lovely lavender from my garden 💜

Make sure you bring a plastic bag or two to kneel or lie down on 😅

That's a hard one Mamady, I love black and white but I think the gorgeous gold tones does it for me. Beautiful light well seen 💛

I needed a little break from the chaos of our world.
I am back at it, doing my part to support the resistors and defenders of democracy.
To do the next outrageous thing that’s needed.

3x3 collage of images taken using a microscope attachment for a mobile phone. Really need to invest in a fancy lens for the big camera!

Images are as follows:

Top L: bright green fern leaf
Top Mid: white and deep pink fuscia with a raindrop
Top R: stamens of a pink anemone

Mid L: stalk of a red apple
Mid Mid: spider's web
Mid R: succulent's pink flower

Bottom L: skinny bee on a white anemone
Bottom Mid: Bobbly lime centre and golden stamens of a white anemone
Bottom R: Blemish on a red apple looking not unlike tree rings.

You are very welcome, thank you for sharing with us 🙏
So many good people protesting worldwide yet the world's powers are useless. It's very hard to witness without being deeply affected,we all feel so helpless.
We feel our government here isn't doing enough.

Siobhan @siobhandotblack.bsky.social · 6d

Thank you very much Mamady 🙏

Siobhan @siobhandotblack.bsky.social · 6d

Thank you for sharing this here, such a beautifully seen image, innocence, beauty and hope. I am deeply ashamed of what humans are capable of. #freepalestine

Some of the smallest joys in life are being stolen daily by the genocidal Israeli regime. Since Oct 7, they’ve murdered, on average, one child per hour (source: Save the Children UK). A dark, lasting stain on humanity.

At dawn in Bukhara, a small child with a balloon lingers beneath ancient arches, fragile joy suspended in shadow and light, where silence, history, and innocence softly converge.

Sometimes you just can't help showing how you feel about things #destruction #darkness #freepalestine
